Excellent article on the Anatomy of a Spike in the eSignal University Market Mastery:

[The excellent has obviously been added tongue in cheek because I wrote it.]

Thank you. It is useful, especially since I am trying to work out how to control risk in overnight holding.

May I ask if you write regularly about the market depth information in E-minis?

No, I write on an ad hoc basis. I usually find that there is a question that needs answering and in order to answer that question I have to do some research, sometimes run some tests and analyse the results etc. I find it that by writing up my results in a professional manner forces structure on my results and when other people criticize what I've written I learn even more. Here is an index to a few of the articles I've recently written.

Thanks for the link. When you write something new in the future, will it always appear in your website? If not, can you please put up a notice like this at T2W, if you do not mind? I will be very interested to read your further analyses in trading.

Many thanks.

I haven't written another article but instead I've spent a bit of time creating the "ultimate" online pivot calculator. I'd be interested to know if there's a better one online?

Thanks for the link!! There is some excellent stuff on there. That perfect trade article is priceless for me. Its EXACTLY what I do wrong every time. I always feel like I have sold myself short if I dont get every single tick out of the trade. I must learn to unlearn that.

My apologies clylbw - I promised I would post links to new articles here and forgot - my bad

The fourth and fifth indexes have a list of the most recent articles.

The more recent articles are not as quantitative as the Anatomy of a Spike - they are more psycho discursive but you may still find some gems there that will boost your profitability - which is what it's all about. Let me know what you think - especially if you find something that you feel is directly applicable to your bottom line.
